Sunda scops owls Tr eat it as gen tly as a n ew bor n ba by
梟
With woods being destroyed for housing, the number of scops owls in Japan has declined. But some live undeterred in a more human-centred environment. Occasionally, in pursuit of prey, they fly against office-building
windows and so you may find one injured in an unexpected place one day. If you don’t hold it correctly, you may cause it a lot of stress, but if you’ve learned how to handle one properly, you may be able to save its life.
L ik e a b aby. Gently. Don’t put any pressure on i ts chest.
